Besides Anacharis or however its spelled, can anybody recommend some easy to care for floaters? I have a florcesent bulb but whenever I have it on, the bettas go NUTS so I dont keep it on very long. I know there is duckweed but I was hoping for something a little bigger...

is Amazon Frogbit hard to grow?

what about moss?? I have petco sand for a substrate, no soil or CO2 thing.

I think im gonna have to order online, pretty sure pecto does not have any of this, at least not in those stupid tubes of "aquatic" plants. Occasionally I find a non rotted amazon sword plant but most are not aquatic

I got the water wisteria from one of those petco tubes two years ago. It is now in every tank I own. It really does like to be planted, though. Puts down some pretty serious roots, even in just plain gravel.

If you go into the plants section and click floating plants it might give you some ideas.
Floating plants are hard to find. I have some duckweed and water spangles that were being tossed out as "pest plants" in petsmart, but that was totally luck.

Java moss is good. You can tie it to something. You can get other moss types from online sellers, but java moss is the only one I can find in Petco.
Good luck with your search.

Java moss is an easy to care for moss that has very few requirements and will grow in the most undesirable conditions. Most bettas will highly appreciate this plant due to the clumping and being able to hide, and rest in the plant

-Hornwort

Hornwort is a very attractive, easy to care for, floating aquarium plant that is oftenly sold in small bunches and is somewhat easy to obtain, while this plant does have very few requirements, there is a key part into keeping and understanding this plant. It has been known to go through its own adjustment periods in which it can lose many if it's pine like leaves. Other than that bettas will highly appreciate striding through the clumped leaves, hiding in them, and playing through them

-anacharis

-Hygrophila polysperma

I have grown this plant in a wide range of setups and have noticed that bettas have appreciated the long slender like leaves to swim around and under, hide in, and play with. A beautiful specimen of this plant is found in my avatar

The above listed plants all require low maintence that have been known to grow magnificently in low tech setups with little or no ferilization. My bettas over the years have highly appreciated these plants and I would mostly recommend the selected plants compared to any others regarding floating plants
